6/18/2020: Hold App – move to Neutral. He is currently unemployed and cannot take on the expense of another dog. I asked him to contact us when he is ready. /PAT
6/17/2020 from Julie: Loved her! She’s 67 yrs old, no health issues.
Definitely waiting until Miss Emma passes. Has electronic fence for all 3 dogs in the past and 1 cat (now). She understands that she will have to train the new dog. she will contact e-fence company if she needs help with training. Also will take dog to training for them to bond. Would like a youngish dog for Fletcher’s friend, one that needs socialization. Best option is a swimmer. Reminder her we can’t guarantee a swimmer ‘dale. The only unacceptable rescue dog she will not accept is aggression as she has 7yo and 7mo grand daughters.Move forward with HV for when ready.
6/12/2020 – Asked about HV they are not “comfortable” with numbers rising in NC; hold until July 2020.
Update by Julie 5/1/2020: Levi Butler,
Retired, hasn’t had a pet for 10 years, no fence. He has the chainlink ready to go but not up yet. I spoke about the importance of a fence due to squirrels and other small animals. The fence would only be a pie shape not the whole yard.6 years old would be too old for him.
He likes to walk however knees give him alittle trouble.
Has never had a terrier, we spoke in length about terrier personality, and lover of earth, dirt and water. He mentioned that may be a little too OCD for him.
He is also looking at a Labmix he saw on Petfinder. I tried to guide him to this dog as a better fit.
He wanted me to keep him on the list for a young Dale but I don’t think that’s a good idea due to issues above. Nice guy but I don’t think a good match.
thanksJulie: home verified 4/22 Rec’d BY photos, although she told me that they yard would be cleaned up and a new gate installed, I think the yard is not big enough or safe enough. Pat will send photos to Jackie for review.
4/21 Applicant is friends with Krissie Axon who has an Airedale – I think rescued. Has a chihuahua 20 lb ok with other dogs. I liked her seems to understand the breed and wants to ‘rescue’ someone. I think it would be a match with Zoey – due to eye issue. Concerns – Chihuahua vaccine exp 2017. Is calling to get him in soon. Is going to send BY photos – says it’s contained but needs new gate. would like photo of Zoey’s eye. I explained the breed.
4/19/2020: Julie E.: 1 mo in Townhouse, no fenced in yard, Wheaten is 2 yo, Fiance can do lunch let out. Crate training if applicable, wants to run w/dog. Looking at Banjo and Buster. Calling Vet and groomer tomorrow 4/20
4/19/2020: Talked with Paul. They are waiting to clear property and build a home on 12 acrea. They will have a fenced area connected to the home. Currently living in a mobile home. It is not the time to take in an Airedale. He will contact me when they are closer to being ready.
4/19/20: Spoke with Jessie. Have an 8 yr old and a 1.5 yr old child. NOTE: In between the loss of their Airedale and application they had adopted a 14 month of berese-airedale mix that was extremely fearful of men. They ended up rehoming it with her sister who is single and the dog has done well there.
They are continuing to look for a dog to adopt. I would place these folks on low priority as they want a dog sooner then ARG will likely have one.
3/30/2020: Voicemail and email from Ian Dean. Current dog is now HW tested (neg) and he has HW/Flea preventative. He has switched vet practiices due to the one he was using “dropping the ball” on the HW testing per Ian. He was very proactive when questioned on this so I take that as a responsible dog owner.
Pending HV.
3/30/2020: Talked with Christen. Airedale knowledgable and have had Westie’s in the past. Would want a dog that is younger and active to be with their 3 yr old Airdale. They have put themselves on a waitlist for a puppy, but want to be on the AG wait list as they are unsure about doing puppyhood again. Talked with them about the dogs currently in rescue or coming in; are not up to the challenage of a timid dale.
Vet check was very good. Put on pending HV list.
